Not sure you’re right about Miles/McLaren. The ACO has told Ford that if they try for a tie between their cars that their starting position would be taken into account and that the McLaren car would therefore win. Supposedly Ken Miles slowed down to protest against being told to let the others catch up.
You're right! I've heard that version of events too in various magazines and not sure which is the real version. Let's see what the film goes with.... probably a 3rd version where the plucky Brummie and Kiwi are beaten by Uncle Sam driving the 3rd team car

They might steal an Enigma machine while they’re at it!

Like you I’m a bit of a Shelby fan so as long he’s the hero of the film I’ll be happy.
